Exterior

The WagonR has always been favoured for its tall-boy design, as that makes it highly practical. The new-gen Japan-spec model continues to carry the tall stance, but now it looks boxier than before. The front bumper gets an all-new design with a large airdam, angular headlamps and shortened bonnet. The two-part grille seems inspired from Chevy. Wearing the large B-Pillars, the side profile looks more like a van.

What add more to its tall-ish appearance are bold character lines running across the sides and prominent wheel arches. The rear design is long and flat. It sports a new roof-mounted spoiler with LED tail lamps, a large rear windshield and low-positioned horizontal tail lights. The Japanese-spec 2017 Wagon R measures 3,395mm in length, 1,475mm in width and 1,650mm in height with a wheelbase of 2,460mm. It stands tall with a ground clearance of 150mm. The hatchback has fuel tank capacity of 27-litres.

Interior

In Japan, the new WagonR comes with one petrol and two hybrid variants. While the petrol version derives its power from a 660cc, 3-cylinder motor that’s good for 51bhp and 60Nm, the hybrid variants additionally get a 3.1bhp, WAO5A electric motor producing 50Nm of torque. The India-spec new Maruti Wagon R 2017 will be based on a newer platform. While it may not be an all-new platform, the company might tweak the existing platform to make it structurally strong.

With the stricter vehicle norms coming into effect from 2017, all the carmakers will have to pass the crash tests in order to sell their products here. And to achieve that, all the cars will have to be structurally stronger. Having said that, the vehicle’s engine could be the same 1.0-litre K-series unit that does duty in the current model. Paired to a 5-speed manual or AGS (Auto GearShift), this motor churns out power worth 67bhp against 91Nm of torque.
